Tiger Woods returned to world No 1 for the first
time since October 2010 after winning the Arnold
Palmer Invitational in Florida. The 14-time major champion reclaimed his place at
the summit by carding a closing two-under par 70
in Orlando, his winning total of 13-under securing
a two-shot triumph over Justin Rose, a third win of
2013 and an amazing eighth victory at Bay Hill. His bid to knock Rory McIlroy off top spot had been
held up on Sunday after a fierce storm caused play
to be abandoned for the day with Woods three
shots clear having played just two holes of his final
round. On Monday's resumption, Woods was quickly into
his stride and birdies at the two front nine par
fives - the fourth and sixth - extended his lead to
four shots. A poor drive at the eighth led to a bogey but Tiger
still had daylight over the field as he reached the
turn still three in front of playing partner Rickie
Fowler. The youngster cut the gap to two by holing a 37
footer for birdie at the 12th but, in trademark Tiger
fashion, Woods responded to the challenge just
moments later by sinking a 25 footer of his own to
restore his three-shot lead. Fowler, who shot an 84 the last time he was
paired with Woods in the final round, kept battling
and nailed a 22 footer for birdie at 14 to maintain
the pressure. The pair both bogeyed 15 to keep the gap at two
but Fowler's hopes went up in smoke at the par
five 16th as he dumped two balls into the water to
rack up a triple bogey eight. That left halfway leader Rose as Woods' nearest
challenger but Tiger's two-putt birdie at 16
ensured a three-shot cushion for the final two
holes. After a par at 17, Woods hit a loose tee-shot at 18
but, with strokes in hand, he was able to chip back
onto the fairway and wedge onto the green. He had three putts for victory from 73 feet but
almost needed just one as his wonderful effort
across the green missed by a fraction of an inch. Runner-up Rose finished three in front of Fowler,
Mark Wilson, Keegan Bradley and Spain's Gonzalo
Fernandez-Castano.
